Discomfiting discomfort

Why does the pain from wasp stings have to last for three days?
It feels as if someone’s held a lit match on the underside of my penis; and I know some people like that sensation and even pay for it, but it ain’t my bag baby.
Thanks to Philippa’s love of social networking sites, half the population of Europe now knows what happened. I’ve been told my nickname at work will now be ‘Sting’ and that whenever I walk through the store everyone is going to sing “Fields Of Gold.”
I like to leave Nature alone to thrive and do it’s thing, but I swear the next time I see a wasp I’m going to crush it with the nearest heavy object.
